Real Talk Book Talk

Book Talkers, all week we've featured books by Jamie Summer for Foster An Author 2018. Today I would love to introduce you to the woman herself! I've loved getting to know her and her work, she's so sweet. So without further ado, here are 20 questions with Jamie Summer:  Hi Jamie! To start off, why don’t you tell us a little about yourself?  Hi everyone, I’m Jamie, a writer, reader, coffee lover and all around happy person (ask my friends, I’m the one with the big smile on my face. I live in Germany with my husband and two kids and have been published for about two and a half years now. Besides writing I love reading (so many good books out there), spending time with my friends and families and watching way too much TV. What has been the best experience so far on your journey as an author? The people I met have been the best part, no doubt. I have been privileged enough to meet some incredible people during my time so far, both online and in pe...

Hey Book Talkers!  So today marks the four year anniversary of this blog. I am, God I don't even know how I feel. It has been a long and crazy journey. Every single day I work hard to bring y'all the latest releases, covers, and reviews. I do it because I love books, I love reading and writing and can honestly say that despite how hard it is, despite how stressful it can be at times.  I am blessed to have a place to go and show my love for reading. I love the people I've met from authors to readers to my amazing blog partner/book sister wife/best friend.  I don't have much to say about this past year. It was a hard one. Lei and I both had our ups and downs. This blog, the books I've read, and Lei are some of the only things that have kept me sane.  So here's to another four years of RTBT.  If you want to check out some of my first reviews I've loved go here: http://realtalkbooktalk.blogspot.com/2014/01/book-talk-review-descension.ht...

Hello Book Talkers. Nothing has happened around here in a while, Lei and I have been so freaking busy. Today however, we have something special to share with you!  We're excited to announce that we're going to be "training" our friend Julie to become a blogger. She is great and y'all will love her.  Here is a little about our newest RTBT Member: Hi there. My name is Julie but some call me Juls. With a first name as a last, I've had to learn to answer to Jenny too...I want to first thank Abri and Lei for this great opportunity to get involved in Real Talk Book Talk. I, like so many, am addicted to books! I have been for more years than I can remember. I have a BS in English Lit but never used this degree for anything other than increasing my love for books. My favorite books range from F.Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby ", Kim Holden's "So Much More " and even YA author Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush Hush series. Ot...

Book Talkers, today Real Talk Book Talk turns three! Can you believe it? I can't.  When I started this blog it was just a random thing to do. I had been thinking about it for a while but never actually thought I could accomplish it. Let me tell you a story.  One night, I was sitting at my computer, I wasn't really doing anything. I was bored. And I decided, why not? So I created an email, and I logged onto blogger. I was nervous as all hell, but I made what I thought was a decent looking blog. I wrote up a few posts and I called it a night.  Then I created a Facebook page, where for the first few days I was the only one who liked it. I did a series of reviews on one of my absolute favorite series, The Mystic Series by B.C. Burgess. You can find the first one here.  I was seventeen. I was a junior in high school. I was dealing with feelings I couldn't process. Feelings I still cannot process and probably never will. I was hurting. So much. I'm s...

Today is our last day talking about Kata Cuic, but that doesn't mean we're done with her. Today we had the opportunity to interview not one, not two, but eight cast members of her Moving The Chains Series.  First I'd like to say from the bottom of my heart thank you to all the Book Talkers who have supported not only Lei and I but Kata as well this week. I know hearing about the same author over and over again is hard, but we hope we gave you enough fun stuff to look at and enjoy with us.  Lei did an amazing job with her reviews and setting a lot of this up. I couldn't have done any of this without her.  Kata is such a lovely person. We are so grateful that she put up with our brand of crazy for a whole week.  Now without further ado let's get to the interview!  -Abri We're sitting down with the crew from First and Goal and Second Down to get answers to all your burning questions that weren't covered in the books! ...
